SOME SUGGESTIONS.
On the 3lst Of last January the
Congressional Library Committee
unanimously reported as follows;
The Committee on the Library, to
which was referred the Senate con-
current resolution providing that "A
joint committee Of FIVE members of
the Senate aud eight members of the
House Of Representatives be ap-
pointed to take into consideration
the expedieucy Of holding, in 1892,
in commemorative OF the discovery
Of America, an international exhibit
ton Of the industries and products OF
all nations, aud, should such an ex-
hibition be deemed expedient, to
consider the time, place, circum.
stances and general plan thereof, and
TO report by bill or otherwise" have
had the same under consideration
and unanimously recommended its
passage.
There is a widespread desire by
the American aeople aud foreign ma
tons, particularly Spain, Italy aud
the fifteen Spanish. American Re-
publics of the three Americas, that
the four hundredth anniversary of
the discovery of America by Colum-
bus be duly celebrated.
In our opinion, pride as well as
self interest in American history and
institutions demands that the United
Sta,es-the elder sister OF the six
teen American Republics-take the
initiative in this grand aud patriotic
work. We also urge the immediate
passage of this resolution that there
may be ample time for preparation.
In conclusion we call attention to
tie fact that the passage Of this reso-
luton contemplates no expense
whatever, but simply the creation OF
committee OF the two houses Of
Congress to consider the subject.
SENIOR cAsrELARs VIEWS.
Senior Don Emilio CASTELAR,, the
distinguished statesman OF Spain,
was reported as having expressed
himself, in speaking OF the proposed
celebration, as follows:
Instead Of celebrating in any one
place, which would necessarily be
local in character, | would have all
the nations interested so combine as
TO make this anniversary the most
memorable and the greatest ever
held in the history OF the world. In
Genoa, the city Of Columbus's birth,
the initiative should be taken.
Spain, Portugal. Italy, France. Eng
land and the United States should
be properly represented. Then let
each Of these nations send vessel or
several vessels Of their own, beauti-
fully equipped. and with representa-
tives officially accredited TO the sea
port OF Palos. in Grenada, where
upon the ID OF August should occur,
after suitable ceremonies. the depart
ure Of this international feet for III,
island OF San Salvador. As all the
nations mentioned have contributed
so much TO America in year,
and centuries gone by, and are
now so vitality interested in hei
present welfare, there should be I
unity OF interest in a voyage tina
would be really remarkable. Tn,
feet should stop at the Canary isl
ands, and in further imitation Of tn,
course pursued by Christopher Go
lumbus, should proceed into San
Salvador. How memorable the an
nivCrsary OF the discovery Of Ian,
would be and how many ways {,
commemorate II at once occur I,
mind | should be glad TO see III,
feet visit some Of the points Of his
torical aud commercial interest il
the Western hemisphere.
